WOW!! What an awesome deal on an AMD XP 2800+

[jflongo]

Well don't know if you have a Fry's Computer Store in your area.

Last week they had an awesome combo deal on a AMD XP 2800+ RETAIL bundled with a cheapo ECS Elitegroup K7VTA3 V8 Motherboard.

All this for only $99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This processor alone is $130 at Fry's and $121 online at newegg.com.

So I ordered a new motherboard and memory to use with this, then I will take my old Athlon XP 1600+ and memory and try it in the cheapo motherboard for my wife.

They have a similar deal this weekend for an AMD XP 2500+ Retail bundled with a mother board. I think it's around $60 - $70, so STILL CHEAPER THAN THE PROCESSOR ALONE!!

I couldn't find the deal last week or this week online, looking at their current ad, but was there when I went into the store and look at their ad.

here is fry's online http://www.outpost.com/

I think newegg.com is cheaper than them for most things online, but instore sometimes you get a rockin' deal.

wow, that is a killer deal. I have never even heard of Fry's though. I don't see the deal on line either (just like you said). Must be a special store promo deal.

Fry's is western US electronics store. They have great specials, but other than the specials, I find the prices aren't that great. The specials more than make up for it though...

Too bad no Fry's here either.

The platform dumping has begun! Too many chips and not enough "action"!

Frys has been having some awesome deals.

One in particular is a 250GB WD 8MB cache drive for $129. I'm not so sure they'll honor it but we'll see. If you go to outpost.com they list the drive for $159.

Personally I hate frys and wouldn't recommend buying anything there but if you can cash in on one of their deals then by all means go ahead.

Quite honestly I don't like buying stuff at fry's alot. They use 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper for receipts and returns, a ton of them for starters. They probably kill a forest every day.

But some times they have KILLER deals, so that's when i buy from them.

I went to Frys and they didn't honor it. They claimed that it expired already. According to them they run 2 day ads.

It's the last time I go there. I've never had them honor anything, have anything I want in stock, or give me a hint of decent customer service.

When did you go? I think their ads run from Thursday - Tuesday, but not on Wednesday. Odd, but I think that's the case.

I went today. Of course. I cut the ad out 2 days ago.

I'm sick of the aggravation. I've never had success there. I'm sticking to newegg.

I've tried buying a hard drive, a 22" monitor, arctic silver, a video card, a controller card, an s-video cable, a cable splitter, and a temp monitor there.

Nothing has worked out. I'm done with the idiots that work there.
